But this current president
Donald Trump has pardoned... He basically pardons for sale.
He's pardoned these cryptocurrency billionaires because they've given to his crypto stuff and his Trump family.
He's pardoned disgraced politicians, who he likes, reality TV stars, hundreds of political allies, the January 6th rioters, as you mentioned.
And he's not...
pardoning just normal people he's only pardoning people who are like powerful or famous to you know and help him uh he pardoned a banker who gave him a million dollar donation to his super and he pardoned you know one of the biggest drug traffickers ever caught
You know, so I I would love to see this reined in.
I think it's way out of control.
And if it were up to me, I'd get rid of the whole thing altogether.
I want to talk to you about the SAVE Act.
We talked a little bit about this last week, but it's really the Republicans are really pushing this act.
And I'll recall this is the Republican bill that would require proof of citizenship in order to vote.
And they want to enact this, Nicole, prior to the 2026 midterms so that it goes immediately into effect.
Um, the bill has been criticized as voter suppression because, you know, you would have to show a passport or a birth certificate when you register, and then you'd have to show a photo ID when you vote.
And, you know, if your married name is different than your birth certificate, you would have to bring your marriage certificate or a newly issued social security card.
I mean, it just, it's a lot.
So, but I want to get your take.
Yeah, I agree with you.
You know, I've never been opposed to like voter ID, the concept.
I've always felt like if you're going to require a voter ID, because voting is a right, right?
